The Time Optimist | Luhan & Cho

Being late was one of Luhan’s charms - actually it was one of his self-proclaimed charms, but he’d never admit that. If there was something the student body could always count on, it would be his terrible attendance. On a given day, one would look out their classroom window, wide eyed in anticipation of the appearance of the struggling fifth year.
And today was no different.
The firecracker sprinted down the cemented path to reach the cluster of buildings. His legs ran on pure adrenaline with a dash of fear. Fear? His Korean class had a test today - and if he was late, the poor boy would have to make up for it after school.
Nope, not today! He usually was accustom to such punishments due to his lack of punctuality, but he couldn’t afford staying behind today. It was the last soccer practice before finals, and the team was going to dedicate the whole session to strategies; if he missed out, it would affect his reliability as the star mid-fielder.
With only minutes to spare, he had to take his usual detour through the vents. By now, staff on spare would stop any individuals at the front door in order to not disrupt opening exercises. So basically if you were five minutes early, you were still late. He’s been caught in this mixup several times, costing him another “L” next to his name.
In order to avoid this obstacle, Luhan ran to the back wall of the main building, and crouched down in front of an air duct opening - his hand now ignited in flame as he started to heat and loosen the metal opening.
